Large Composite Defensive Formation

Upon hearing Liu Yunan's words, the man froze on the spot, staring blankly at him, his anxious struggling movements suddenly ceasing.

After a long while, he asked in a voice filled with despair:

You're saying that a cultivator already came by just now?

Liu Yunan, unaware of the reason, subconsciously nodded in response.

Seeing him nod, the man immediately stopped struggling, slumped to the ground, and gave a bitter smile.

"It's over, it's over..."

Upon seeing this, Liu Yunan was puzzled:

"What's over?"

The man turned to look at him, his face filled with despair.

"Kid, tell your sect members to run away quickly. It'll probably be a few hours before Wei Hai comes looking for trouble. He's a Nascent Soul Cultivator..."

Perhaps feeling that he had no hope of survival, this Foundation Establishment cultivator recounted his ordeal at the Shangyang Sect and how he was forced to take a poison pill in order to find the sect's exact location.

After hearing this, Liu Yunan was still shocked by the cruelty of the cultivators outside. Liao Pantu had already transmitted his voice to him:

"Don't be surprised. Hurry up and make arrangements. If what this person said is true, the Nascent Soul will definitely arrive in two or three hours at most. By then, the entire village may be wiped out."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunan immediately came to his senses and was about to turn and leave when he suddenly remembered the person lying on the ground. So he transmitted his voice to Liao Pantu and asked:

"Senior, is there any hope for this person?"

Liao Pantu, who was secretly thinking, 'He really is that kid Lin Xiao's good brother,' checked the poison on the Foundation Establishment cultivator and replied:

"My good disciple Yigao's pills can even cure the poison of the Silver Frost Python Demon, let alone this kind of common poison pill? Using it to cure this is simply a waste of his talent."

After receiving his reply, Liu Yunan did not delay any longer and immediately ran back up the mountain, asking his younger sister Liu Shengsheng to take an antidote pill for the cultivators below.

He then informed all his disciples of the impending attack by the Nascent Soul Cultivator.

He planned to have everyone go together to bring the villagers of Xiushui Village, who were currently asleep, up the mountain.

Liao Pantu, on the other hand, traversed the Heart-Questioning Road alone and arrived at Xiushui Village.

Although he was hesitant to go in when the Heart-Questioning Road was first built, fearing he wouldn't be able to get through.

However, after being encouraged and persuaded by his good disciple Sun Yigao, he finally mustered up his courage and stepped inside.

Although it took two days, it was the longest time ever for anyone to do so.

Fortunately, the outcome was good.

Two days later, he successfully navigated the Heart-Questioning Road with ease.

Right now, he took out a bunch of basic defensive array diagrams that had been recently drawn in batches by the people in his sect, and prepared to use these basic defensive arrays to set up a large combined defensive array in the village.

Although he wasn't very good at alchemy.

But his other skills are actually quite decent.

He also had some knowledge of battle formations.

I wonder how many of the villagers will be willing to go up the mountain now that Tuzi and his men are trying to arrange for them.

If they don't want to, it will be dangerous for them to stay in the village.

It's best to have a backup plan.

If all the villagers are willing to go up the mountain, that would be best; this defensive formation can then serve as protection for the village's houses and property.

Thinking it over, he walked towards each of the array nodes and placed a basic defensive array within them.

The entire large-scale combined defense array has a total of 199 nodes, which means that 199 basic defense arrays are needed.

This quantity is almost equivalent to the entire stockpile of all the initial-level defensive arrays that Lingxian Sect has accumulated over the past few months.

Now, Liao Pantu has brought them all out to set up this large-scale combined defensive array.

Although a single basic defensive array can sell for at least twenty or thirty Spirit Stone, nearly two hundred of them would amount to several thousand Spirit Stone.

But this number meant nothing to Liao Pantu.

Moreover, he believed that if Lin Xiao were here, Lin Xiao would definitely choose to add an extra layer of protection to Xiushui Village rather than these Spirit Stone.

As he swiftly traversed the village, placing each initial defensive array in its proper position, he witnessed how every node scattered across the highlands of Xiushui Village, near and far, was instantly connected as if guided by something.

Then, the initial defensive arrays at each node suddenly disappeared, replaced by a huge and complete light shield that completely enveloped Xiushui Village below.

A few breaths later, the light barrier gradually disappeared into the air.

Seeing this, Liao Pantu was very satisfied.

Very good, your formation techniques haven't deteriorated.

With this large defensive array, Xiushui Village, while not entirely safe, can at least withstand several full-force attacks from Nascent Soul Cultivator.

A little more time always Dayi the chances of survival.

Thinking about it, Liao Pantu sighed deeply as he walked back to his sect.

Now that I'm only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, this is all I can do.

If only I could recover to my peak condition, then if Nascent Soul Cultivator really came, I could just drag him to a secluded place and have a go.

At the same time, Liu Yunan also successfully notified all the Lingxian Sect members, both on and off the mountain.

Therefore, a group of the Lingxian Sect members from Xiushui Village went down the mountain to visit each household and persuade them.

They were suddenly woken up in the middle of the night and told that a great disaster was about to happen and that they should go up the mountain to take refuge.

The sleepy villagers, feeling their peaceful dreams disturbed, angrily told them to leave their homes immediately.

Apart from the village chief and a few clan elders, almost all the villagers refused.

Seeing this, almost all the members of the Lingxian Sect with sufficient cultivation level chose the same method without prior agreement.

Hypnosis Technique.

After hypnotizing the person, those whose cultivation level was insufficient to use Hypnosis Technique would carry the unconscious villager up the mountain.

In an instant, the persuasion team transformed into porters.

They went door-to-door, knocked people unconscious, packed them up, and carried them away.

However, as they were about to lead their men up the mountain, they encountered a problem.

There's no other reason.

The villagers they were carrying were all detained by Heart-Questioning Road.

Carrying them back down the mountain is no problem, but bringing them back up the mountain is another matter.

Heart-Questioning Road: Sorry, I won't agree.

To climb the mountain, one must pass the test of the Heart-Questioning Road.

Therefore, the people of the Lingxian Sect had no choice but to temporarily place them on the Heart-Questioning Road.

Because there were so many people, Heart-Questioning Road was very considerate; whenever the intersection was full, it would automatically move people forward to make room for those behind.

Seeing this, the people from the Lingxian Sect couldn't help but wonder, what would happen to the Heart-Questioning Road if the entire road were filled with people?

Fortunately, Heart-Questioning Road is long enough and wide enough to fit the entire village with some empty space.

Therefore, this question remains unanswered for the time being.

While the others were busy settling the villagers, Liu Yunan went into the sect's storeroom alone and took out the Two Aspects Life and Death Formation that Lin Xiao had previously stored there.
